KUALA LUMPUR, March 30 (Bernama) -- Bursa Malaysia’s benchmark index closed lower today, in line with most regional markets, as investors adjusted their risk exposure amid spiralling oil prices driven by the ongoing West Asia conflict, now in its second month. At 5 pm, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) retreated by 24.75 points or 1.44 per cent to 1,687.90 from Friday’s close of 1,712.65. The market bellwether opened 10.57 points weaker at 1,702.08 and fluctuated between 1,682.79 and 1,702.38. The broader market was bearish, with decliners thumping advancers 956 to 371. A total of 373 counters were unchanged, 1,042 untraded and 134 suspended. Turnover expanded to 3.98 billion units worth RM4.85 billion from last Friday’s 2.97 billion units worth RM3.25 billion.
I'm not a believer of technical analysis but I heard a lot of people in the investment industry look at the technical analysis and try to understand the trend and behaviour of the stock moving forward by looking at the chart.
Well, I'm no expert to it but if you are interested, here is one term that you should understand: Trade Volume Index (TVI).
A technical indicator that measures the amount of money flowing in and out of an asset. Unlike many technical indicators, the TVI is generally created using intraday price data. The underlying assumption of this indicator is that there is buying pressure when the price trades near the asking price and selling pressure when it trades near the bid. The TVI is actually very similar to the on balance volume indicator but it takes the volume attributable to every trade instead of just the closing volume.
Generally, TVI helps investors to identify which security is being accumulated (buy) and which are being distributed (sold).
